Burnaby Resident Wins Governor
General’s Collegiate Bronze Medal

Se Burnaby resident and
graduating student Caroline
Fisher wasn’t present at Capilano
College’s spring graduation ceremony
on May 23. She was guiding a tour
group from the White Rock-Surrey
Archaeological Society through the
parks of Utah. However, her parents
were there to accept on Caroline’s
behalf the Governor General’s
Collegiate Bronze Medal.

Awarded by the Office of the
Governor General, His Excellency, the
Right Honourable Romeo LeBlanc, the
medal is given annually at Capilano
College to the student who achieved
the highest academic standing in a
diploma-level, post-secondary
program of two year’s duration or
more. This is the most prestigious
honor given at the College for
academic achievement.

“Caroline has been an outstanding
student and is a wonderful choice for
the Governor General’s medal,” says
Catherine Boniface, convenor of the

Outdoor Recreation Management
program. Caroline had been enrolled
in the two-year program since
returning from a year-long trip
throughout Eastern and Southern
Africa.

Raised in the Lower Mainland,
Caroline graduated from South
Burnaby Secondary School, receiving
an entrance scholarship at Simon
Fraser University. She spent her
summers at the EDUCO Adventure
School, an outdoor education
organization in 100 Mile House, B.C.,
that is similar to Outward Bound. She
delayed her entry into SFU for one
year and attended Carleton University,
working in Parliament as a senate
page.

Following a semester at SFU and
her travels, Caroline had a clear idea
of her career path. She enrolled in the
Outdoor Recreation Management
Program at Capilano College and
today, she is employed as an assistant
guide with Elder Adventure Tours.
